Lol, its just something odd I have noticed over the years...many years ago. Aquariums were over represented in those homes where you would have to hang out a bit before buying. Lots of time on their hands for the hobby I guess, I would always hear all about it.
Shit yeah, I'm too afraid I'd run out to part with any of them.
I'm just happy I didn't loose any of the new fish I bought. I guess restarting the tank was a good idea. I need to get some more color in it though.
Stay away from the discus unless you need a serious commitment to weekly maintenance (at the least).
I'm pretty lazy when it comes to the tank, so I just get tetras and danios and the like. I need to get a herd of Neon's I always enjoy them, I have black ones but not the same impact.
Will he try to get their fins?
Not likely - they can be a lot quicker than he is & he's mostly showing off.
Is he posturing from fear of being eaten? My mom kept an aquarium in my youth and she bitched a lot about some fish eating other fish. I didn't pay much attention.
No, the males are cranky - you cannot keep two of them together as they will continually battle and one will end up being killed.
So typical male is typical, LOL, thanks!
Yeah, I had a number of them. With and without other kinds of fish. They like to slowly take fins off till they have the advantage. Keep an eye out.
They are really cool fish. Did it see it's reflection yet?
I keep a community tank, never really had a problem with one of them.
